In July 2017, Norton entered into a 20-year Design and Licence agreement with Zongshen Manufacturing of China for a new, 650cc twin-cylinder engine. The midsize market is surging all over the world and the twin-cylinder 650 cc segment is the most promising in the US, Europe and Asia.

Norton just revealed a 650 cc, a Scrambler that Stuart Garner told personally they call an ‘Urban Tracker’ concept that may hit production towards the end of 2018. Quite appealing. But it doesn’t mean that Norton will be price competitive versus Royal Enfield, Triumph, Ducati and even Harley in emerging markets. For example, Norton production is estimated at 1000 units against close to 1,000,000 for Royal Enfield….But Norton’s presence in the same category could define the premium reference for its rival in traditional global and emerging markets

I like everything except that it Chinese, which to me means it’s junk. So I will never even consider it as long as it is made in China or India for that matter. You can call a turd a diamond but it’s still a turd
